All,
 
I told several people that I would pass along the information regarding the burial of Kim's cremains.
Unfortunately none of the O'Connor's will be able to be present.
Several of you expressed interest in going.
I feel so much better knowing that his "Texas" family will be present.
 
No formal ceremony was planned but I told Mary Ann Davidson, Funeral Home Director for Greenwood Funeral Home that there would be some friends present and that I am sure some would speak on Kim's behalf.
 
Kim will be buried in:
Greenwood Cemetery
3100 White Settlement Road

To find his grave you are to enter the cemetery at the Four Horses entrance,
go to the first circle and there will be a marquee with his name on it and arrows directing to his plot ,which is #1111 in the Live Oak Section.
 
There will be approximately 10 chairs and a canopy.
 
Mary Hill lives nearby and can help with any additional directions.
 
I am sending this to any e-mail addresses that I was given in the past two weeks, so please feel free to communicate to as many of Kim's friends as you all can that may be interested in attending.
